"Okay." Nolan nodded affirmatively.
"We're leaving." Nicole smiled, touched by Nolan's behavior.
After the family had left, Lawrence's gaze turned cold, and his expression darkened.
"Mr. Royce, even though Miss Nicole has not regained any of her memories, she seems to have accepted her family very quickly," Ian lamented after coming over.
Perhaps blood ties and family relationships were so strong and solid that none of the predicaments could affect them for long.
Lawrence glared at Ian, and that was when the latter quickly realized that he had misspoken. Then, he quickly lowered his head.
Lawrence turned and got into the car with a grimace. Though the Riddle family had bonded with Nicole, and there was nothing he could do to stop that, he would never allow Jared to take Nicole away.
Back in the car, the atmosphere was nothing short of strange. Lana was hugging Jared tightly as she rambled to him about the happy things that happened to her in school, especially about Nona, whom she had met in the morning. They had already become best friends as it seemed.
Jared was actively listening, nodding happily from time to time. He would also encourage her and add a word or two in between her impassioned outpour.
However, Nolan was grinding his teeth. He was frowning, furious as he watched Jared and Lana. He could have gone out with Lawrence, but his wish was not granted.
He just could not understand why Lana would care so much about Jared. 'Our godfather is the one who has been with us for the past five years. We should be with him instead!'
Nicole hugged him gently. She did not know how long it would take for Nolan to understand that nothing significant would develop between her and Lawrence. However, this would not change the fact that Lawrence was her friend. It would not stop Lawrence from treating them well either.
After all, they had been together for five years, and she had witnessed how sincere Lawrence was to her children. Lawrence had really loved them, so this would not change anything.
When they returned to the Riddle residence, they realized that everyone was already there because it was Nolan and Lana's first day in school. Even Sean and Steve, who had both moved out, were back home.
After greeting all of their elders, Nolan and Lana went up to their grandparents. Gloria and Daniel loved them to bits, and as expected, they could not stop asking them about their preschool experiences.
"I've already gotten the chef to cook us a feast. Everyone's back home today, so let's have a good time together." Steve looked at Nicole and smiled.
Nicole was amused. "They went to preschool when they were on the island as well. It's easy for them to adapt, so you don't have to worry so much about them."
She was dumbfounded by the fact that everyone was so excited about Nolan and Lana's first day. 'I wonder if the kids will change after being spoiled by so many people.'
"It's okay. Even if they've been to school before, this is San Joto. We have to make it special." Sean said, whereupon he turned to the children. "Just tell me what you need."
"Not just Uncle Sean. You can tell any of us too," Spencer added.
